sam and dean walking into freddy fazbear’s pizzeria and being forced to deal with a bunch of animatronic-possessing-ghost-children for five nights would absolutely be the funniest fucking thing ever

I think the true tragedy of Elizabeth Afton is that it doesn't matter what her morals are.

She has to follow William. She has to because everyone else she's ever loved is dead and gone, and yes, she knows he killed her. But she has to believe that it was out of love, or else she has nothing. And she knows deep down she really does have *nothing*. Which is why she claws so desperately in Pizza Sim. You could hate someone with all your heart but in the end, they're your only shot at love.

Your father. Your creator. Your god and your captor.

So like.. I might be alone in thinking this way and maybe it’s bc of me nearly knocking on 30s door but I still feel the need to say it.

I don’t see Vanessa as this “mature experienced adult.” Like everytime I see something regarding her there is HEAVY emphasis on how “she’s the adult” and therefore needs to take responsibility and stuff and like.. that to me feels more like it’s a mindset SHE would have, not that it’s necessarily true.

Bc I’m gonna be so real with yall.. 23 is not that old. Not even close. Like.. that’s BARELY graduating college age, that’s “I’m still finishing up my internship so I can graduate on time” age. She literally just became legal drinking age (in the US) two years ago. And yea maybe SOME 23 year olds have their lives together, but a vast majority.. do not.

Like it feels like it’s pushing that hyperindependence agenda. The idea that you HAVE to be moved out of your parents place by the time you’re 18, you HAVE to be graduated and be well on your way to a career by 22-23. None of which is true. You move by the own beat of your drum. Whether it’s 18 or 38.. it’s when YOU feel ready.

ALSO let’s not forget, this is the same woman that was possessed for YEARS. Even if we don’t know how old she was, the legal age to become a beta tester in the state of Utah is EIGHTEEN. So if we go under the assumption she was the youngest they would take, she was under that possession for at least FIVE years. Which means she did not have full control over her own free will and couldn’t even really make her own decisions UNTIL she was 23. She does NOT have the “experience” of those five years. If anything she’s probably stagnated at an 18-19 year old emotional mentality. (And that’s not even taking into account all the crap her shitty ass dad probably put her through as a kid)

All this to say.. I don’t think it’s fair to her to be reduced to “the adult character” when in my eyes, she barely is one. I don’t think it’s “infantilizing” to make her a little more immature due to those stunted years of growth. And also, adults can be silly and have fun too. And saying they shouldn’t be or calling it “cringe” and telling people just having fun to “grow up” borders a dangerous line I don’t think you wanna cross…

I feel like Gregory would be a lil' jerk and swap out the sugar for salt as a prank, so when Nessie goes to add sugar to her coffee, she'd be running to the sink in mere moments to wash her mouth out after taking a sip of her salted coffee...

Rip Gregory afterwards tho... he'd be fleeing for his life, lol

do you guys think victorian era children thought about jack the ripper as often as modern teenagers think about william afton

whoo is ur favorite fnaf character?

Sun. He's my absolute favorite FNAF character of the franchise, especially because the DCA fandom is what got me back into FNAF in 2022. I wasn't really interested in Security Breach until I saw all the adorable comics and animations for Sun and Moon.

I also obviously adore Moon and Eclipse! And my other favorites are Mangle, Toy Bonnie, Springtrap, Ennard, Glamrock Chica and Arnold!

FNAF was never truly scary to me, and I've stopped getting the appeal of it outside of fan creations years ago, especially in terms of YouTube. Fans handle the base concept a lot better than Scott Cawthon does, who, iirc, never actually planned a story beforehand and so that was made when them games were. Not that it means it was doomed by that practice, but it left it a disjointed mess, and that's probably because the concept was so loose to begin with.

Scott uses the horror of a child murderer, the idea of children's spaces being stripped down into the preying grounds of predators, and the trauma that gives, but his fandom with skin you alive if your fan series takes the concept uniquely seriously (from the series that is very unserious.) Examining the cruelty and mindset a person who dresses up in a child's mascot to lure kids away from safety in a way that implies pedophilia isn't very encouraged, no matter how rare it is. Make Michael a cannibal, that's pretty cool and gorey, just... Don't do that. Apparently.

He's also, in his own pathetic way, guilty of this, because these games do not care about the kids the horror is framed around, and he clearly doesn't care about making it right in any new FNAF game. How am I meant to care when you who've created this don't? FNAF is more grindy than horrifying once you're used to working through the first game (or first and second) and the loud ass jumpscares, but what is there besides the name, jumpscares, repetitive gameplay, and the vaguely scary presentation of murdered childrem? I ain't asking for horror to literally feed me its horror or the nuances of it on a spoon, but fuck man, there ain't even a meal here for me to eat myself.
